Zophar vs Deamoned
superaielman Deamoned faced down the power of the Destroyer without fear nor without a worry about his own safety. He just stood down and did his duty and fought to his last breath. Sound familiar? It should, because good old Ned did about as well against the infinite power of Wyrm as he did facing Zophar's horrid powers of evil. Zophar: 40 
Mewtwo vs Zenon
superaielman Mewtwo's natural inclination to read his foe's mind was tempered by his long ago run in with the Horn of Valmar, who shattered his mind with the power of Chrono Cross plot. He tossed away such feeble mental games and instead went in to smash Zenon into atoms with Psychic. Zenon, being a creature of true genius, studied the last person to crush Mewtwo and prepared accordingly. He arrayed thousands of mind traps and studied with Kevin Winnicot to master the power of horrid plot twists. His mind was ready for such a battle. Much like the last time Zenon got cute with a plan, he went to the well one too many times and was caught off guard by his foe. His studying of such demonic rites as T-ELOS plot had sapped his time and energy away from combat preparation and left him defenseless for the straight up ass kicking that Mewtwo delivered. Well, no one ever said Zenon was a genius. Mewtwo: 28 
Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau) vs Eirika
Gatewalker Eirika knew how speed games work. She used them often enough herself, afterall. You're enough faster then you're opponent, and suddenly you get to attack them twice for every one of their hits. And that is exactly the side of the speed equation that Eirika prefers to be one. SHE is the one with the insane speed. SHE is the one who gets to double. Not her opponent. But after watching some videos of Citan's old matches, she knew very well which side of the speed equation she was going to end up on this time. And not only that, but those counters! Citan had counterattacks that would make Fire Emblem characters jealous! The princess was a bit surprised she didn't hear more talk about those, but such a thing must surely be small up herein Godlike. So even though Fire Emblem characters can be revived here...dying still hurts. Is there any real surprise she just decided to throw in the towel? - - - Bart leveled an unbelieving stare at the good(?) doctor, "So let me get this straight. You doctored your own old fight videos to make her think you could counterattack too?" Citan simply sipped his tea and nodded. "And somehow that actually WORKED!? How!?" The doctor chuckled, "It wasn't a sure thing, but it also wasn't the only precaution I took. As for how," taking another sip of his tea, he smiled, "do you really expect me to start spilling my secrets now?" Citan Uzuki (Hyuga Ricdeau): 37 
Tibarn vs Yuri Volte Hyuga
Gatewalker "I've got to admit, you're pretty damn impressive for a Beorc." Tibarn considered his opponent and his options, taking time to make sure he made exactly the right move. Yuri laughed, "Hey man, I've got the best of both worlds going on. Turn into some kind of all powerful beast? Got that...well, demon in my case, but you get the idea. Then I can use magic while in that form. Don't really believe in limiting my options, you know?" Looking down at the board, he shrugged, "Come on, you gonna move or not?" "Sure thing." Moving a piece on the board, the Hawk King smiled, "Check. And yeah, I can see how that's good if you can do it. Just not the way things work where I'm from. Well, some of the crows have a very limited magic, but it's nothing to write home about." Moving to protect his king, Yuri grumbled, "Man, how much longer until we get the arena?" "Another ten minutes. Trust me, I've been watching the clock like a hawk." Snorting at the lame joke, Yuri fired back, "That eager to lose, huh? Come on, you know you're not in my league." Making another move, Tibarn just grinned, "Says the man who's three pieces down and by the way, back in check." "Yeah, except we won't be playing chess in there." "So you really don't think I can beat you, then?" Yuri just laughed, "Come on, man. You're good and all, but I can keep myself going forever and just pick you off with magic at range. I get too close to death, boom, back to Amon and heal. I don't need to heal, I get some damage in. Your dodging game is good, but I've got a better defense and my offense is just as good as yours." Moving his king out of the way, he added, "Your go." Without hesitation, Tibarn moved again, "Check. And you might think you've got it all worked out, but once we're in there I could always outsmart you. I'm managing it out here afterall." "Hey, I thought you Laguz didn't care about stuff like tactics. Where'd you get a head for it?" Another piece moves, "Back to you." "Most of us don't, no. But as a king, I need to not only be stronger then my subjects, but smart enough to lead them properly as well. And to be honest, there's a reason we don't use much strategy when we fight. Also, check." Moving his king yet again, Yuri was admittedly curious, "What's that? And your move." The Hawk King slid another piece into place as he explained, "Simple. Because of our strength, we almost always have the advantage in a straight up open conflict. And it's usually a whole lot easier to force one of those then trying to set up any complex tactics. In a sense, forcing direct confrontations IS our strategy. Most Beorc want to avoid that unless they have enough overwhelming force that tactics don't actually matter." Then he grinned widely, "Also, checkmate." "What?" Looking down at the board, Yuri groaned, "Dammit. Alright, you took that one. Man, I never figured a straight up bruiser like you would be good at this stuff." Standing up, Tibarn shrugged, "In fairness, it's not like I'm beating an expert here. I haven't even managed to beat Ike at this yet, and he doesn't even like the game. Anyway, it's almost time. You ready?" Yuri just walked towards the door, "Let's do it." - - - What, the actual fight? Oh, it went down pretty much exactly as Yuri said it would. There were a couple of tense moments, but overall the conversation in the waiting room was alot more interesting, so you got that instead. Tibarn: 20
Zero vs Reno
Gatewalker The match was over in an instant. As soon as the bell was rung, Reno flipped up his rod and shot out a bullet of light to catch his opponent in the deadly pyramid. Zero, also wasting no time, drew his...shield? Yeah, he pulled out a shield, held it in front of his face and smirked as the bullet of light bounced straight back, trapping a very confused Reno inside his own dirtiest trick. Sighing, the Turk tapped the inside of his prison, "Hey, uh, I might be going out on a limb here but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to be able to do that." Putting his shield up, Zero walked over to his trapped opponent, "Nah, I cleared it with the judges already. It's completely in the green." "...how'd you pull that one off?" "Bribes, flattery, convincing them that they really don't like you, the usual. Wasn't hard, the panel's nothing but PCs this time." Cupping his forehead in one hand, Reno sighed, "A Turk on the wrong end of a dirty deal. Man, what's next, Peach kidnapping Bowser? Tch..." Zero: 35 
Jerin vs Mithos Yggdrasil
SageAcrin Two elves. One a beautiful(Not ugly?) young girl. The other is a young man. I think you can see the obvious here. --- "Now that's getting shot down in flames." Genis noted with a smile, as Mithos' arrow pincushioned, burning body slammed into a wall. Well, it probably was Genis' fault ultimately anyways. Who but Mithos would be stupid enough to use one of Genis' "theoretically great" pickup lines? Jerin: 22 
Daos vs Serge
Pyro Daos' power is mighty and irrefutable. He can crush armies and destroy nations single-handedly. He is feared as a god amongst the lowly mortals who would dare to stand against him. So how could he possibly lose to Serge? It's quite simple really. For all his power and pseudo-divinity, Daos is solely a being of terror. Without the ability to inflict horror on his foes, he is all but helpless. How unfortunate for him, then, that he faces someone who doesn't even give a word for a friend who dies before his eyes. Against someone as emotionally dead as a silent main, what chance does Daos possibly have? Of course it helps that Serge brings lots and lots of holy damage to bear against the notably holy-fearing Sinistral. Have fun trying to convince Erim to revive you, Daos. Daos: 20 
Asellus vs Angelo
DjinnAndTonic Angelo couldn't understand it. Despite all of his best efforts and his charming smile, there was nothing in his arsenal that could distract the Mystic Asellus. This had never happened before! Even the acidic host of Behind The Scenes Chisato would swoon when he swept his hand through his silvery locks... This was deeply disturbing! After she thoroughly wore down his strength despite the buffing and healing, Asellus kindly helped her opponent off the ground, assuring him that he was an attractive, likeable person who needn't have self-esteem issues before she exited the arena with 3 ridiculously-sexy Mystic ladies on her arms. Apparently no one had explained to Angelo about Mystic Lords... Asellus: 33
Lich vs Flay Gunnar
AndrewRogue Undead he may be But that just makes it simpler! No pause… GREAT SPINNING! Lich: 17 
Beatrice vs Shinjiro Aragaki
Pyro Shinji didn't understand. Everything was going crazy. Yukari was running around screaming about how she wasn't as pretty as Mitsuru and how Ken-chan was cuter than she was. Akihiko was asking Minato if he looked over 21 while Mitsuru was driving around in a go-kart. Koromaru was drinking tea and reading a newspaper, talking about some corrupt politician with Junpei, who was wearing suspenders. And all the while Shinji was wearing a pink frilly dress while holding a guitar. He was confused, and more than a little scared. The eerie green light of the Dark Hour covered everything, and coffins were everywhere. At least that much was normal, but what was going on? Beatrice snickered as she finished peering into her now-snoring opponent's dream. Having grown bored with intruding on it she gave a little shrug, mentally picked him off the ground, and flung him out of the ring. While winning matches was fun, sometimes the manipulative demon enjoyed plying her powers and watching the havoc even more. Very little was as crazy as the inside of a person's mind after all. Beatrice: 25 
Roxis Rosencrantz vs Gijimu
superaielman Arrwwooooooooooooo! Chrona Drive? No, just the reaction Roxis has to Lo Wen, who's country looks don't appeal to his more mature, adult standards. That got him axed down with the usual savagery and bloodletting that happens in a Gijimu match. Getting Nikki and Jess to 'nurse' him back to health with their combined powers and gentle touch is what put him through hell. The medicine really was worse than the disease there. Roxis Rosencrantz: 20 
Nash Rumack vs Slade
SageAcrin A battle to be the most ridiculous you can be. To look as insane as you can. This was the battle set down by some very bored, slightly drunk on power(and schnapps) judges laid down. Surely Slade wouldn't even bother to come. And he didn't. Of course, Slade spiritually won anyways. For, he didn't totally abandon the battle. He sent someone in his place. It's really hard to be more ridiculous than Zalbard in Lina Inverse cosplay. But that's not Slade winning, now is it? Hey, at least Zalbard's love for cosplay is now known to all, without any stigma or harm to his good name. Ghaleon still won't take his calls though. Sailor Uranus and Neptune! It would be fabulous! Poor Zalbard. Nash Rumack: 35
Kahn Marley vs Garet
superaielman Kahn's skillset is varied and deadly, perfect for battling the undead hordes. Garet, while annoying, is in fact aligned with the forces of good and is merely stupid, not unholy. The power of Mars Djinn are more than enough to torch the proud son of the Marley clan. Kahn Marley: 11 
Duessel vs Frank Goldfinger
Gatewalker The battle had worn on, and now the chips were all down. Duessel, the great general of Grado, was battered, bloody and tired, but he was still in the saddle. Frank, the American ninja, was unsteady on his feet and had long since run out of quips to make, but he was still holding his weapon. Deciding to take a last desperate grasp at victory, Frank began making his ninja hand signs, conjuring up the most potent ninjutsu he could muster. Knowing that this could be the end, Duessel leveled his axe at the old ninja and urged his mount into a charge. ...and that's when Duessel's horse violently exploded. Nobody is really sure why or how it happened. And considering the location of the horse, it's not much of a surprise that the all male judging panel and the mostly male audience all feinted dead away at the thought of such a thing, leaving no one to contest Frank's victory. Not that anyone really would have anyway. I mean, just in case it actually was Frank who did that...well, you just don't go around ticking off a guy who might be able to do something like THAT. At least not in Light... Duessel: 19 
Mia Ausa vs Zell Dincht
DragonKnight Zero It's a not-so-big secret that the Mia Ausa fan club will do anything for the comfort of their idol. Really, they're willing to go to great lengths. As many members of the fan club are magic users, they have many options to prevent anyone from harming Mia. Freezing, sleep, petrification, polymorphing (a favorite), and much more. Surprisingly, Zell didn't face any magical incapacitation prior to the match. Instead, the Mia Ausa fan club had gone out of their way to invite him to a BBQ celebrating her latest victory. All it took was a mention of free hotdogs and he was there. Good times were had by all who attended. Only later did Zell realize that, 1. The latest win was over him. 2. The BBQ was scheduled at the same time as the match and he lost by failure to appear. Hey, not all plots involve spectacular acts of violence. Sometimes, things turn out nicer with a gentler approach. Even though he lost, Zell felt like a winner on some level which would not be the case had he actually fought things out in the arena. Mia Ausa: 44 
Skelly vs Locke Cole
SageAcrin Locke's abilities on this day have reached a new height. There is no building that will bar his way, no door that will stop him, no fortress impregnable enough for his treasure hunting skills. On this day, Locke got the ultimate in theivery skills. The skeleton key. Okay, maybe it's a lot of keys. And maybe it's just Skelly in a sack that he can dump down a chimney or into air ducts and make unlock things for him. But in the end, nothing will stop him. And in the end, Skelly...is still stuck with it, since Locke sensibly stuffed him in the sack before he could be healed. And it will all end when he tries to sneak into a lady's locker room on a drunken bet and Skelly gets Holy magic to the face until he's no longer a good key. But hey, it'll be nice until then. Skelly: 20 |
